Top Lyon Hotel Reviews

Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

Premiere Classe Lyon Centre - Gare Part Dieu

8/10 Good
"This is a clean and convenient no frills budget hotel. It suited us fine for a night in Lyon with an early train the next day. Beds were comfortable. Bedding was nice quality. Shower was good. Reception was pleasant and efficient. Room was compact. No tea or coffee facilities. Everything was clean - corridor carpets a bit grubby. Very close to the station but no train noise in our room. Decent value for a big city. Absolutely fine for a short stay"

"A tidy, clean, well positioned (near train station) place to stay with helpful staff and a nice breakfast. The room is a little on the small side with only one chair but had a good en-suite"

Globe et Cecil Hôtel

Globe et Cecil Hôtel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was set in the right part of Lyon and very convenient. It has the quaintness of an older hotel, but the ways of a new one. Our room is full of light and had a quaint little fireplace in it. The only drawback was we were right next to the hotel Sign so the room was lit all night otherwise very lovely and the people were very kind."

8/10 Good
"Our room was great, with a separate sitting/kitchen area so we could put our baby to sleep and still spend time talking. We had an air-conditioned room and could not imagine having a room without during the heatwave in Lyon. They had the air con running for us and the crib already set up before we got there which was amazing. My only complaint is the shower, no matter how I had the shower curtain positioned, water covered the floors of the bathroom."
